We have both an In N Out and a Five Guys here. I much prefer In N Out personally. Last night I got the late night craving and went there for the first time in a year. A Dbl Dbl and fries cost me $5.10, the same thing at Five Guys would have been $9+. Granted Five Guys is more food, but extra quantity is irrelevent as the dbl dbl and fries was more than enough. I skipped the drink, and enjoyed a nice Denny's Vanilla Bourbon Porter with it.
However culturally there are massive differences between the two. Go to glassdoor or the like and compare the companies. In n Out has a much better employee satisfaction rating, and pays and treats their associates better. The average starting pay here for people who work at in n out is $10+ an hour, more than 2/hr higher than state minimum wage. I've never once walked into any In N Out and had the people working there be less than polite, friendly and engage in a little banter no matter how busy the place is (Including times where it's been 25min in line just to order). They're supposedly a very good company for young (high school/college age) people to work at to make decent money and have a flexible schedule.
I can't eat fast food very often now that I'm in my 30's are get enough additional calories from beer, but when I do In n Out is usually my go to.
P.S. they're the only fast food place I've ever been to that's smart enough to ask you "will you be enjoying this in the car today?" and giving you a different style carrier that's easier to navigate while driving if you say yes.
